December 2024 was an opportunity for us to partner with Rewild Wicklow, who are dedicated to restoring and protecting Wicklow’s native habitats and increasing biodiversity. With every purchase of our special release Christmas coffee, Feliz Navidad, 10% of sales went directly to support Rewild Wicklow’s incredible mission: "To monitor, protect, enhance, and increase native habitats in Wicklow so it can support a vast, biodiverse, balanced ecosystem of historical flora and fauna." Through their work with landowners, citizen scientists, and volunteers, Rewild Wicklow is helping to bring back the wild beauty of Wicklow as it once was.
Now that 2024 is over, it is time to wrap things up and share the results. The funds will be used to sponsor a camera trap as part of Rewild Wicklow's Snapshot Europe project. The goal of this initiative is to collect systematic wildlife camera trap data on mammals across as many study sites in Europe as possible during September and October. For 2025, Rewild Wicklow wants to expand the project area again to the north to include the Glen of the Downs Nature Reserve and to the east to include the Deputy's Pass Nature Reserve. The donation will sponsor one of the cameras that will be used in this expansion.
The above pictures were taken in the previous years as part of Snapshot Europe. We are delighted to have become a part of this project, and we can't wait to see the pictures our sponsored camera will take!
